  I don't see where I violated your guidelines, maybe I am not liberal enough? why am I always downvoted massively whenever I post a non-ultra-liberal comment? why? what if I posted a comment ridiculing the current POTUS and praising the former POTUS? will I get upvoted or downvoted do you think? I think you know the answer

    They're right in the thingie you were asked to please read. "Please don't use Hacker News primarily for political or ideological battle." and "Please don't comment about the voting on comments."

      >Please don't use Hacker News primarily for political or ideological battle I don't use it as such, but the post itself was political and if you don't like politics in HN, you should have removed the post itself in the first place >Please don't comment about the voting on comments You are right in this one and I apologize, but it wasn't the first time to get massively downvoted just because I expressed a non ultra liberal opinion, this downvoting abuse is kinda dictatorship here.

        I'm not a moderator here so I don't get to remove stuff despite the obvious and immediate improvements to the site that would entail. But generally, they don't remove stuff either. As to political, the issue is not just something being political - 'something something liberal media' is both ideological and also completely generic. If I started railing about how the Koch brothers are out to destroy unions and build an underwater objectivist zombie paradise in threads about any odd thing, those comments would quite sensibly be downvoted, flagged and the dementors would show up to suck the joy of life out of me. Here's what that looks like, from dang, an actual de... I mean.

The downvoting - If you see downvoting (i.e. disagreement) with your views and opinions as some sort of abuse and tyranny, you'll probably have a hard time here and really, on most forums worth reading. I'll leave you with the following famous meditation by a stalwart proponent of laissez-faire capitalism: "You wanna work here - close! You think this is abuse? You think this is abuse, you cocksucker? You can't take this, how can you take the abuse you get on a sit? You don't like it, leave."
